Both Sitting ... quiet ... speaking ...
Jonathan Burrows & Matteo Fargion
Thursday 27th November at
7.00pm
Friday 28th November at 7.00pm
A week of events profiling two
award-winning artists
The pairing of choreographer Jonathan Burrows
and composer Matteo Fargion has produced a trilogy of performances
that have become the most internationally talked about British
dance of the past five years. Since 2002 the duo has given
over 170 shows in 37 countries and in 2004 won a New York dance and
performance award (‘Bessie’). Clever, beautifully
simple and sometimes mesmeric the duets explore the intricate
relationship between dance and music and cross and re-cross the
fragile but permeable boundaries between the two worlds. It
is a formal but humorous meditation on the nature of communication
and the relationship between the two performers and the
audience.
For The Point, Jonathan and Matteo have created a
special programme, offering a unique opportunity to see just two,
or all three duets in one sitting.
